NAME

6       Math::NumSeq::PisanoPeriodSteps -- Fibonacci frequency and Leonardo
7       logarithm

SYNOPSIS

10        use Math::NumSeq::PisanoPeriodSteps;
11        my $seq = Math::NumSeq::PisanoPeriodSteps->new;
12        my ($i, $value) = $seq->next;

DESCRIPTION

15       This is the number of times the "PisanoPeriod" must be applied before
16       reaching an unchanging value.
17
18           0, 4, 3, 2, 3, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3, 1, 3, 2, 3, 1, 2, 1, 2, ...
19           starting i=1

21       As per Fulton and Morris

27       repeatedly applying the PisanoPeriod eventually reaches an m which is
28       unchanging, ie. for which PisanoPeriod(m)==m.  For example i=5 goes
29
30           PisanoPeriod(5)=20
31           PisanoPeriod(20)=60
32           PisanoPeriod(60)=60
33           PisanoPeriod(120)=120
34           so value=3 applications until to reach unchanging 120
35
36   Leonardo Logarithm
37       The unchanging period reached is always of the form
38
39           m = 24 * 5^(l-1)
40
41       The "l" exponent is the Leonardo logarithm.  Option "values_type =>
42       "log"" returns that as the sequence values.
43
44           0, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, ...
45           starting i=1
46
47       For example the i=5 above ends at m=120=24*5^1 so l-1=1 is l=2 for the
48       sequence value.

FUNCTIONS

51       See "FUNCTIONS" in Math::NumSeq for behaviour common to all sequence
52       classes.
53
54       "$seq = Math::NumSeq::PisanoPeriodSteps->new ()"
55       "$seq = Math::NumSeq::PisanoPeriodSteps->new (values_type => $str)"
56           Create and return a new sequence object.
57
58   Random Access
59       "$value = $seq->ith($i)"
60           Return the count or logarithm of $i.
